Hanna Renström, a young woman from northern Sweden, leaves her village in 1904 bound for Australia. After two marriages and two widowhoods, she ends up running a brothel in Mozambique. In the colonial society dominated by whites, her fair skin isolates her among the Black prostitutes and confronts her with racism and fear of the other.

For readers of historical fiction with an interest in colonial Africa and race and gender relations.
